Nov. 25, 2008
- For months now, OCSEA has been working with Gov.

The revised policy—as recommended by the union—gives more latitude on compressed work weeks and supports the implementation of flexible schedules. FULL STORY

Where practical and feasible, hours and schedules for bargaining unit employees may include:

  1. Variable starting and ending times;
  2. Compressed work week, such as four 10-hour days;
  3. Other flexible hour concepts;
  4. Schedule adjustments for pre-scheduled medical appointments shall be made only by mutual agreement. It is understood that the Employer's refusal is not grievable;
  5. The trading of shifts for pre-scheduled medical appointments shall be by mutual agreement. The refusal of the Employer is not grievable.
